Fish who live in warm tropical waters, would quickly die of hypothermia and frost-bite if dropped into arctic waters. Why is it so dangerous for their cells to freeze? Because ice is more dense as a solid and would cause the fish to become too heavy and unable to maintain buoyancy. Because ice is less dense as a solid and therefore takes up more space causing the cells to burst upon freezing. Because water undergoes a chemical change when it freezes and this releases a toxic compound into the fish’s blood. Because in salt water, the ice would freeze at a lower temperature making the fish even colder.
